 This year's 26th issue of Weekly Shounen Jump magazine announced on Monday that a television anime adaptation of Shuuhei Miyazaki's Boku to Roboko (Me & Roboco) is in production. Miyazaki began serializing the comedy sci-fi manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in July 2020. Shueisha shipped the seventh volume on March 9 and will publish the eighth volume on June 3. VIZ Media's Shounen Jump platform and Shueisha's Manga Plus both simupublish the manga in English with the Japanese release. VIZ Media released the third volume on April 26, while the fourth volume is scheduled to ship on July 26. Synopsis Robotic OrderMaids are popping up in every household, and 10-year-old Bondo Taira has found out that his two closest friends—Motsuo and Gachi Gorilla—have OrderMaids too. Motsuo, in particular, owns Meico, a beautiful robot that gives excellent massages and serves drinks with a smile. Jealous of his friend, Bondo convinces his mother to get him an OrderMaid, hoping for a similar experience. However, to Bondo's surprise, the maid that appears outside of his door is incredibly muscular and clumsy enough to destroy a house when completing simple chores. Going by the name Roboko, this new robot is the exact opposite of what Bondo wanted. But despite that, Bondo, together with his friends, learns that there is more to Roboko than they could ever expect.

| female giant version. YES, you cannot undo this. |
| That's the ugliest design I have ever seen. |
 |
| A marvelous news. Like the one of the year. This manga is so great if you understand all the comedy hahaha ! And the last chapter proved it. |
 |
| Great series and severely underrated in the West. Can't wait to watch the show and see those beautiful knees in action. It was so romantic, dude... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| The gag series that inexplicably survived the Weekly Shonen Jump axing while big ones like Ayashimon and Jigokuraku get cancelled after surviving for so long. Everyone hates this, but only some love it. |

KANLen09 said: Pretty much what Nidhoeggr said + gag manga in WSJ usually have an easier time than shounen battle manga to stay in the magazine.The gag series that inexplicably survived the Weekly Shonen Jump axing while big ones like Ayashimon and Jigokuraku get cancelled after surviving for so long. Everyone hates this, but only some love it. Also, Roboco is doing way better than Ayashimon in the ToC in Japan so, maybe Ayashimon is the more popular here in the west, but they really enjoy Roboco more while Ayashimon kept staying at the bottom of the ToC every week lol. https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1527179487695323137 |

| I'll just reiterate what I said in another thread already: 1. Gag series are usually read in the magazine itself and have rather low sales. 2. Roboco has great ToC placing in the magazine, indicating a big popularity in Japan. 3. The series was recommended quite heavily in a few TV shows and the author is well-connected within the industry by the looks of it (He could get Yabuki to contribute in a chapter of his, for example). 4. It's not only a spoof of WSJ, but takes a lot of inspiration from Doraemon and has a lot of great gags that aren't Shueisha related, thus giving it mass appeal. 5. Just take a look at her beautiful knee and tell me Roboco isn't best girl in Jump right now. 6. Keep in mind that it is an anime with a most likely shorter episode length, so a good filler series in between other TV blocks. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| About fucking time. I will probably still start reading the manga before the anime release. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Robochad asserting superiority over battle shonen fans. I kneel. |
| Based as hell. Glad to see this getting the support it deserves. |
 |
| Since there are parodies of various manga works, I am surprised because I honestly didn't think they would be animated. |

| I really cannot tell if every reply in this thread is being sarcastic or ironic, but I don't know enough about gag manga currently being published to tell. How have you guys heard of this, what on earth is this? It looks like something from 50 years ago. |

OvergrownRover said: This getting an anime before Mashle is pretty insane ngl tbh I don’t think Mashle needs it right now. It has already made top 10 WSJ without any animation promotion. They know it will bang, so it’s best to wait for when JJK has its end in sight before making an anime. That way, when the anime exploads, it can take over as the next king (i.e. JJK succeeding Demon Slayer) |

That story is a messed up piece of writing that started out pretty well but ended up going nowhere. It’s popularity is undeniable though. Maybe it won’t reach JJK heights, but all it needs is a great adaptation to be the next big face of the magazine. |
_Bakemono_ said: Blue_Maroon said: It’s popularity is undeniable though. Maybe it won’t reach JJK heights, but all it needs is a great adaptation to be the next big face of the magazine. I guess yeah. But I don't think the story is anywhere NEAR the level of DS or JJK. It actually sucks. I’ve never read it so maybe it does suck. I’m just giving my 2 cents from a business perspective. |
| I wonder if this means we'll get an anime adaptation for High School Family? I enjoy that one more. |
| Looks interesting |
